It’s great that you let your viewers see that it’s not always easy or﻿ predictable. As you should you learn only by trial and era. Let me mention to the newbees out there. Your flash will often over rule your ambient light so, don’t worry to much about it if the room isn’t black.You can make it look black even if every light is on in the room. Thanks Matt!

Dear Matt, I love your videos but I would like to understand more of why things are set up in a certain way than how. Like the relationship between F-Stops, flash power and shutter speed. The way these videos are set up,﻿ I can only recreate the shot using the settings that you provide. I’d like to have the theoretical knowledge so that I don’t have to guess when I’m setting up my flash.

Nice﻿ tips! Pretty interesting video. I cant get one thing – why bother with PW and optical slaves if you can get BAGS of YN syncros for the money and just concentrate on subject? If it would be about “quality of life” thing, having premium gear, why not have PW per flash and stop wasting time with “will it find a sensor” game? Cant afford them? Than why spend money on system you can not complete?
